Erectile Dysfunction: Let’s Talk About It
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is far more common than most people realise — yet it’s something many men suffer from in silence. Because it’s rarely spoken about, ED can leave men feeling isolated, embarrassed, or even ashamed. But here’s the truth: you’re not alone, and it’s absolutely something you can get help with.
Why ED Happens
ED can be caused by many different things — sometimes physical, sometimes emotional, sometimes a bit of both.
Physical factors might include:
-
Circulation problems or high blood pressure
-
Side effects of medication
-
Hormone changes
-
Lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking, or being overweight
It is always worth getting checked by a GP for the physical factors and getting support. Knowledge is power and a visit may just not only improve or resolve your situation but could highlight any additional reasons. Therapy can also support you if you need to make lifestyle changes and help your mindset to adapt and or accept.
Emotional or psychological factors can be just as powerful:
-
Stress, anxiety, or depression
-
Relationship worries
-
Past trauma or negative sexual experiences
-
Fear of failure or performance anxiety
For many men, ED isn’t constant. You might notice you can get an erection in some situations (like first thing in the morning), but struggle when it comes to intimacy. That usually points to a psychological root and that’s where I can really help.
How Therapy Can Help
Working with a professional means we don’t just treat the surface symptoms — we uncover the root cause. Through hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT and talking therapy, you can:
-
Break the cycle of anticipating failure and actually restore confidence
-
Reduce stress, anxiety and performance worries
-
Improve lifestyle habits like weight, sleep, or alcohol use
-
Reconnect with intimacy and enjoy sex again — without fear
ED affects about 1 in 10 men at some point, and it doesn’t make you “less of a man.” What it does mean is that your mind and body are signalling for change — and that change is completely possible.
You’re Not Alone
Research shows ED is incredibly common: around 40% of men at age 40 and 70% of men at age 70 experience it. Many cases are linked to stress, emotional health, or lifestyle — all things that can be worked on.
